[PMID: 39121725 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing globally due to population aging. However, effective clinical treatment strategies for AD still remain elusive. The mechanisms underlying AD onset and the interplay between its pathological factors have so far been unclear. Evidence indicates that AD progression is ultimately driven by neuronal loss, which in turn is caused by neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation. Therefore, the inhibition of neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation could be a useful anti-AD strategy. Nonetheless, the delivery of active drug agents into the brain parenchyma is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To address this challenge, we fabricated a black phosphorus nanosheet (BP)-based methylene blue (MB) delivery system (BP-MB) for AD therapy. After confirming the successful preparation of BP-MB, we proved that its BBB-crossing ability was enhanced under near-infrared light irradiation. In vitro pharmacodynamics analysis revealed that BP and MB could synergistically scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in okadaic acid (OA)-treated PC12 cells and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated BV2 cells, thus efficiently reversing neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation. To study in vivo pharmacodynamics, we established a mouse model of AD mice, and behavioral tests confirmed that BP-MB treatment could successfully improve cognitive function in these animals. Notably, the results of pathological evaluation were consistent with those of the in vitro assays. The findings demonstrated that BP-MB could scavenge excessive ROS and inhibit Tau hyperphosphorylation, thereby alleviating downstream neuroapoptosis and regulating the polarization of microglia from the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Overall, this study highlights the therapeutic potential of a smart nanomedicine with the capability of reversing neuroapoptosis and neuroinflammation for AD treatment.

Abstract
Black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) have recently emerged as a highly promising contender in biomedical applications ranging from drug delivery systems to cancer therapy modalities. Nevertheless, the potential toxicity and its effects on human health need to be thoroughly investigated. In this study, we utilized multi-omics integrated approaches to explore the complex mechanisms of BPQDs-induced kidney injury. First, histological examination showed severe kidney injury in male mice after subacute exposure to 1 mg/kg BPQDs for 28 days. Subsequently, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of kidney tissues exposed to BPQDs identified differentially expressed genes and metabolites associated with ferroptosis, an emerging facet of regulated cell death. Our findings highlight the utility of the multi-omics integrated approach in predicting and elucidating potential toxicological outcomes of nanomaterials. Furthermore, our study provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving BPQDs-induced kidney injury, underscoring the importance of recognizing ferroptosis as a potential toxic mechanism associated with BPQDs.

Abstract
The stability of black phosphorene (BP) and its preparation and modification for developing and applying devices have become a hot topic in the interdisciplinary field. We propose ultrasound-electrochemistry co-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation as an eco-friendly one-step method to prepare gold-silver bimetallic nanoparticles (Au-AgNPs)-decorated BP nanozyme for smartphone-based portable sensing of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in different water sources. The structure, morphology, composition, and properties of Au-AgNPs-BP nanozyme are characterized by multiple instrumental analyses. Bimetallic salts are induced to efficiently occupy oxidative sites of BP to form highly stable Au-AgNPs-BP nanozyme and guarantee the integrity of the lamellar BP. The electrochemistry shortens the exfoliation time of the BP nanosheet and contributes to the loading efficiency of bimetallic nanoparticles on the BP nanosheet. Au-AgNPs-BP-modified screen-printed carbon electrode coupled with palm-sized smartphone-controlled wireless electrochemical analyzer as a portable wireless intelligent sensing platform was applied to the determination of 4-NP in a linear range of 0.6-10 μM with a limit of detection of 63 nM. It enables on-site determination of 4-NP content in lake water, river water, and irrigation ditch water. This work will provide a reference for an eco-friendly one-step preparation of bimetallic nanoparticle-decorated graphene-like materials as nanozymes and their smartphone-based portable sensing application outdoors.

Abstract
This review highlights recent advancements in the synthesis, processing, properties, and applications of 2D-material integrated hydrogels, with a focus on their performance in bone-related applications. Various synthesis methods and types of 2D nanomaterials, including graphene, graphene oxide, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXene are discussed, along with strategies for their incorporation into hydrogel matrices. These composite hydrogels exhibit tunable mechanical properties, high surface area, strong near-infrared (NIR) photon absorption and controlled release capabilities, making them suitable for a range of regeneration and therapeutic applications. In cancer therapy, 2D-material-based hydrogels show promise for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, and drug delivery (chemotherapy). The photothermal properties of these materials enable selective tumor ablation upon NIR irradiation, while their high drug-loading capacity facilitates targeted and controlled release of chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, 2D-materials -infused hydrogels exhibit potent antibacterial activity, making them effective against multidrug-resistant infections and disruption of biofilm generated on implant surface. Moreover, their synergistic therapy approach combines multiple treatment modalities such as photothermal, chemo, and immunotherapy to enhance therapeutic outcomes. In bio-imaging, these materials serve as versatile contrast agents and imaging probes, enabling their real-time monitoring during tumor imaging. Furthermore, in bone regeneration, most 2D-materials incorporated hydrogels promote osteogenesis and tissue regeneration, offering potential solutions for bone defects repair.

Determining toxicity of europium oxide nanoparticles in immune cell components and hematopoiesis in dominant organs in mice: Role of lysosomal fluid interaction. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 937:173482. [PMID: 38795982 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Extensive application of rare earth element oxide nanoparticles (REE NPs) has raised a concern over the possible toxic health effects after human exposure. Once entering the body, REE NPs are primarily processed by phagocytes in particular macrophages and undergo biotic phosphate complexation in lysosomal compartment. Such biotransformation affects the target organs and in vivo fate of REE NPs after escaping the lysosomes. However, the immunomodulatory effects of intraphagolysosomal dissolved REE NPs remains insufficient. Here, europium oxide (Eu2O3) NPs were pre-incubated with phagolysosomal simulant fluid (PSF) to mimic the biotransformation of europium oxide (p-Eu2O3) NPs under acid phagolysosome conditions. We investigated the alteration in immune cell components and the hematopoiesis disturbance on adult mice after intravenous administration of Eu2O3 NPs and p-Eu2O3 NPs. Our results indicated that the liver and spleen were the main target organs for Eu2O3 NPs and p-Eu2O3 NPs. Eu2O3 NPs had a much higher accumulative potential in organs than p-Eu2O3 NPs. Eu2O3 NPs induced more alterations in immune cells in the spleen, while p-Eu2O3 NPs caused stronger response in the liver. Regarding hematopoietic disruption, Eu2O3 NPs reduced platelets (PLTs) in peripheral blood, which might be related to the inhibited erythrocyte differentiation in the spleen. By contrast, p-Eu2O3 NPs did not cause significant disturbance in peripheral PLTs. Our study demonstrated that the preincubation with PSF led to a distinct response in the immune system compared to the pristine REE NPs, suggesting that the potentially toxic effects induced by the release of NPs after phagocytosis should not be neglected, especially when evaluating the safety of NPs application in vivo.

Abstract
The excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) will delay tooth extraction socket (TES) healing. In this study, we developed an injectable thermosensitive hydrogel (NBP@BP@CS) used to treat TES healing. The hydrogel formulation incorporated black phosphorus (BP) nanoflakes, recognized for their accelerated alveolar bone regeneration and ROS-scavenging properties, and dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a vasodilator aimed at enhancing angiogenesis. In vivo investigations strongly demonstrated that NBP@BP@CS improved TES healing due to antioxidation and promotion of alveolar bone regeneration by BP nanoflakes. The sustained release of NBP from the hydrogel promoted neovascularization and vascular remodeling. Our results demonstrated that the designed thermosensitive hydrogel provided great opportunity not only for ROS elimination but also for the promotion of osteogenesis and angiogenesis, reflecting the "three birds with one stone" concept, and has tremendous potential for rapid TES healing.

Abstract
The common clinical chemotherapy often brings serious side effects to patients, mainly due to the off-target and leakage of toxic drugs. However, this is fatal for some specific clinical tumors, such as brain tumors and neuroma. This study performs a drug-free approach by encapsulating black phosphorus (BP) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) in liposomes with surface-modified triphenylphosphonium (BCLT) to develop mitochondria targeting calcification for cancer therapy without damaging normal cells. BCLT preferentially accumulates inside tumor mitochondria and then is activated by near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation to produce abundant PO4 3- and Ca2+ to accelerate in situ mitochondrial mineralization, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer cell death. More importantly, both PO4 3- and Ca2+ are essential components of metabolism in the body, and random gradient diffusion or premature leakage does not cause damage to adjacent normal cells. This achievement promises to be an alternative to conventional chemotherapy in clinical practice for many specific tumor types.

Abstract
3D stem cell spheroids have immense potential for various tissue engineering applications. However, current spheroid fabrication techniques encounter cell viability issues due to limited oxygen access for cells trapped within the core, as well as nonspecific differentiation issues due to the complicated environment following transplantation. In this study, functional 3D spheroids are developed using mesenchymal stem cells with 2D hetero-nanostructures (HNSs) composed of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding carbon nanotubes (sdCNTs) and gelatin-bind black phosphorus nanosheets (gBPNSs). An osteogenic molecule, dexamethasone (DEX), is further loaded to fabricate an sdCNTgBP-DEX HNS. This approach aims to establish a multifunctional cell-inductive 3D spheroid with improved oxygen transportation through hollow nanotubes, stimulated stem cell growth by phosphate ions supplied from BP oxidation, in situ immunoregulation, and osteogenesis induction by DEX molecules after implantation. Initial transplantation of the 3D spheroids in rat calvarial bone defect shows in vivo macrophage shifts to an M2 phenotype, leading to a pro-healing microenvironment for regeneration. Prolonged implantation demonstrates outstanding in vivo neovascularization, osteointegration, and new bone regeneration. Therefore, these engineered 3D spheroids hold great promise for bone repair as they allow for stem cell delivery and provide immunoregulative and osteogenic signals within an all-in-one construct.

Abstract
The accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein aggregates is a key pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and induces mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species overproduction. However, the treatment of AD remains challenging owning to the hindrance caused by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the complex pathology of AD. Nasal delivery represents an effective means of circumventing the BBB and delivering drugs to the brain. In this study, black phosphorus (BP) is used as a drug carrier, as well as an antioxidant, and loaded with a tau aggregation inhibitor, methylene blue (MB), to obtain BP-MB. For intranasal (IN) delivery, a thermosensitive hydrogel is fabricated by cross-linking carboxymethyl chitosan and aldehyde Pluronic F127 (F127-CHO) micelles. The BP-MB nanocomposite is incorporated into the hydrogel to obtain BP-MB@Gel. BP-MB@Gel could be injected intranasally, providing high nasal mucosal retention and controlled drug release. After IN administration, BP-MB is continuously released and delivered to the brain, exerting synergistic therapeutic effects by suppressing tau neuropathology, restoring mitochondrial function, and alleviating neuroinflammation, thus inducing cognitive improvements in mouse models of AD. These findings highlight a potential strategy for brain-targeted drug delivery in the management of the complex pathologies of AD.

A theragenerative bio-nanocomposite consisting of black phosphorus quantum dots for bone cancer therapy and regeneration. Bioact Mater 2024; 35:99-121. [PMID: 38283385 PMCID: PMC10818087 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.01.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Recently, the term theragenerative has been proposed for biomaterials capable of inducing therapeutic approaches followed by repairing/regenerating the tissue/organ. This study is focused on the design of a new theragenerative nanocomposite composed of an amphiphilic non-ionic surfactant (Pluronic F127), bioactive glass (BG), and black phosphorus (BP). The nanocomposite was prepared through a two-step synthetic strategy, including a microwave treatment that turned BP nanosheets (BPNS) into quantum dots (BPQDs) with 5 ± 2 nm dimensions in situ. The effects of surfactant and microwave treatment were assessed in vitro: the surfactant distributes the ions homogenously throughout the composite and the microwave treatment chemically stabilizes the composite. The presence of BP enhanced bioactivity and promoted calcium phosphate formation in simulated body fluid. The inherent anticancer activity of BP-containing nanocomposites was tested against osteosarcoma cells in vitro, finding that 150 μg mL-1 was the lowest concentration which prevented the proliferation of SAOS-2 cells, while the counterpart without BP did not affect the cell growth rate. Moreover, the apoptosis pathways were evaluated and a mechanism of action was proposed. NIR irradiation was applied to induce further proliferation suppression on SAOS-2 cells through hyperthermia. The inhibitory effects of bare BP nanomaterials and nanocomposites on the migration and invasion of bone cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer cells were assessed in vitro to determine the anticancer potential of nanomaterials against primary and secondary bone cancers. The regenerative behavior of the nanocomposites was tested with healthy osteoblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells; the BPQDs-incorporated nanocomposite significantly promoted the proliferation of osteoblast cells and induced the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. This study introduces a new multifunctional theragenerative platform with promising potential for simultaneous bone cancer therapy and regeneration.

Abstract
Although a demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is often used as an alternative to an autologous bone graft, its clinical application is still hampered by easy dispersion of DBM particles and insufficient osteoinductivity in the defect site. Herein, we designed a self-healing hydrogel for DBM that can rapidly restore its structural integrity after damage based on amino-rich black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets and aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid (AHA). Given the increased expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists by DBM stimulation, the osteogenic potency of DBM in the hydrogel carrier was further enhanced by abrogating the BMP antagonism. The BP/AHA hydrogel provided dynamic polymer-nanosheet networks that combine injectability, modability, and physical stability with high DBM loading, where the BP nanosheets served as osteogenic cross-linkers to promote biomineralization and deliver siRNA to suppress undesirable expression of BMP antagonist noggin by DBM. As a result, the BP/AHA hydrogel integrated with DBM and noggin-targeting siRNA synergistically promoted osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by enhancing BMP/Smad signaling. This work demonstrates a promising strategy to improve the efficacy of bone regeneration using bone graft.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) utilizes ultrasonic excitation of a sensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy tumor. Two dimensional (2D) black phosphorus (BP) is an emerging sonosensitizer that can promote ROS production to be used in SDT but it alone lacks active targeting effect and showed low therapy efficiency. In this study, a stable dispersion of integrated micro-nanoplatform consisting of BP nanosheets loaded and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) connected microbubbles was introduced for ultrasound imaging guided and magnetic field directed precision SDT of breast cancer. The targeted ultrasound imaging at 18 MHz and efficient SDT effects at 1 MHz were demonstrated both in-vitro and in-vivo on the breast cancer. The magnetic microbubbles targeted deliver BP nanosheets to the tumor site under magnetic navigation and increased the uptake of BP nanosheets by inducing cavitation effect for increased cell membrane permeability via ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD). The mechanism of SDT by magnetic black phosphorus microbubbles was proposed to be originated from the ROS triggered mitochondria mediated apoptosis by up-regulating the pro-apoptotic proteins while down-regulating the anti-apoptotic proteins. In conclusion, the ultrasound theranostic was realized via the magnetic black phosphorus microbubbles, which could realize targeting and catalytic sonodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Despite the technological importance of semiconductor black phosphorus (BP) in materials science, maintaining the stability of BP crystals in organic media and protecting them from environmental oxidation remains challenging. In this study, we present the synthesis of bulk BP and the exploitation of the viscoelastic properties of a regenerated silk fibroin (SF) film as a biocompatible substrate to transfer BP flakes, thereby preventing oxidation. A model based on the flow of polymers revealed that the applied flow-induced stresses exceed the yield stress of the BP aggregate. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the exfoliation efficiency as well as the environmental stability of BP transferred on the SF substrate. Notably, BP flakes transferred to the SF substrate demonstrated improved stability when SF was dissolved in a phosphate-buffered saline medium, and in vitro cancer cell viability experiments demonstrate the tumor ablation efficiency under visible to near-infrared (Vis-nIR) radiation. Moreover, the SF and BP-enriched SF (SF/BP) solution was shown to be processable via extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. Therefore, this work paves the way for a general method for the transferring of BP on natural biodegradable polymers and processing them via 3D printing toward novel functionalities and complex shapes for biomedical purposes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional black phosphorus (2D BP) has attracted significant research interest in the field of biomedical applications due to its unique characteristics, including high biocompatibility, impressive drug-loading efficiency, phototherapeutic ability, and minimal side effects. However, its puckered honeycomb lattice structure with lone-pair electrons of BP leads to higher sensitivity and chemical reactivity towards H2O and O2 molecules, resulting in the degradation of the structure with physical and chemical changes. In our study, we synthesize polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glutathione-stabilized doxorubicin drug-assembled Au nanoparticle (Au-GSH-DOX)-functionalized BP nanosheets (BP-PEG@Au-GSH-DOX) with improved degradation stability, biocompatibility, and tumor-targeting ability. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy indicate the nanoscale degradation behavior of synthesized nanoconjugates in three different environmental exposure conditions, and the results demonstrate the remarkable nanoscale stability of BP-PEG@Au-GSH-DOX against the degradation of BP, which provides significant interest in employing 2D BP-based nanotherapeutic agents for tumor-targeted cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
In the face of the serious threat to human health and the economic burden caused by bacterial antibiotic resistance, 2D phosphorus nanomaterials have been widely used as antibacterial agents. Violet phosphorus nanosheets (VPNSs) are an exciting bandgap-adjustable 2D nanomaterial due to their good physicochemical properties, yet the study of VPNS-based antibiotics is still in its infancy. Here, a composite of gold nanorods (AuNRs) loaded onto VPNS platforms (VPNS/AuNR) is constructed to maximize the potential of VPNSs for antimicrobial applications. The loading with AuNRs not only enhances the photothermal performance via a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, but also enhances the light absorption capacity due to the narrowing of the band gap of the VPNSs, thus increasing the ROS generation capacity. The results demonstrate that VPNS/AuNR exhibits outstanding antibacterial properties and good biocompatibility. Attractively, VPNS/AuNR is then extensively tested for treating skin wound infections, suggesting promising in vivo antibacterial and wound-healing features. Our findings may open a novel direction to develop a versatile VPNS-based treatment platform, which can significantly boost the progress of VPNS exploration.

Abstract
Due to the unique lamellar structures, physicochemical and biological properties, electronegative two-dimensional (2D) materials have been explored for surface modification of carbon fibers reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) composite. Deposition of electronegative 2D materials based on a porous surface created by concentrated H2SO4 has been studied to promote osteogenesis of CFR-PEEK. Generally, a porous layer will be pre-built on CFR-PEEK through severe corrosion of concentrated sulfuric acid to help the loading of 2D materials. However, the severe corrosion will greatly reduce surface mechanical strength, especially wear resistance and hardness, which increases the risk of collapse or even peeling of the bioactive coating by external force. Herein, instead of the severe corrosion, a mild corrosion by concentrated HNO3 was applied to modify the surface of CFR-PEEK to pre-create a dense transition layer for the further surface decoration of electronegative 2D materials (graphene oxide (GO) and black phosphorus (BP), representatively). The results indicated that hardness and wear resistance of the dense transition layer were markedly higher than those of the porous layer. Although GO and BP can be both loaded on these two transition layers, -SO3H on the porous transition layer showed moderate cytotoxicity, while -NO2 on the dense transition layer showed good cytocompatibility. The dense transition layer displayed higher mineralized deposition in vitro and new bone formation rate in vivo than the porous transition layer, moreover, GO and BP coatings improved osteogenesis. This work offers inspirations for the construction of electronegative 2D material coating on CFR-PEEK based on chemical transition layers.

Abstract
Manganese ions (Mn2+)-coordinated nanoparticles have emerged as a promising class of antitumor nanotherapeutics, capable of simultaneously disrupting the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and triggering the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway-dependent antitumor immunity. However, the activation of STING signaling by Mn2+-based monotherapies is suboptimal for comprehensive stimulation of antigen presenting cells and reversal of immunosuppression in the TME. Here, we report the design of a Mn2+/CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) codecorated black phosphorus nanosheet (BPNS@Mn2+/CpG) platform based on the Mn2+ modification of BPNS and subsequent adsorption of synthetic CpG ODNs. The coordination of Mn2+ significantly improved the stability of BPNS and the adsorption of CpG ODNs. The acidic TME and endosomal compartments can disrupt the Mn2+ coordination, triggering pH-responsive release of CpG ODNs and Mn2+ to effectively activate the Toll-like receptor 9 and STING pathways. As a result, M2-type macrophages and immature dendritic cells were strongly stimulated in the TME, thereby increasing T lymphocyte infiltration and reversing the immunosuppression within the TME. Phototherapy and chemodynamic therapy, utilizing the BPNS@Mn2+/CpG platform, have demonstrated efficacy in inducing immunogenic cell death upon 808 nm laser irradiation. Importantly, the treatment of BPNS@Mn2+/CpG with laser irradiation exhibited significant therapeutic efficacy against the irradiated primary tumor and effectively suppressed the growth of nonirradiated distant tumor. Moreover, it induced a robust immune memory, providing long-lasting protection against tumor recurrence. This study demonstrated the enhanced antitumor potency of BPNS@Mn2+/CpG in multimodal therapy, and its proof-of-concept application as a metal ion-modified BPNS material for effective DNA/drug delivery and immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injectable bone cement is commonly used in clinical orthopaedics to fill bone defects, treat vertebral compression fractures, and fix joint prostheses during joint replacement surgery. Poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) has been proposed as a biodegradable and injectable alternative to polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement. Recently, there has been considerable interest in two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorus nanomaterials (BPNSs) in the biomedical field due to their excellent photothermal and osteogenic properties. In this study, we investigated the biological and physicochemical qualities of BPNSs mixed with PPF bone cement created through thermal cross-linking. METHODS PPF was prepared through a two-step process, and BPNSs were prepared via a liquid phase stripping method. BP/PPF was subsequently prepared through thermal cross-linking, and its characteristics were thoroughly analysed. The mechanical properties, cytocompatibility, osteogenic performance, degradation performance, photothermal performance, and in vivo toxicity of BP/PPF were evaluated. RESULTS BP/PPF exhibited low cytotoxicity levels and mechanical properties similar to that of bone, whereas the inclusion of BPNSs promoted preosteoblast adherence, proliferation, and differentiation on the surface of the bone cement. Furthermore, 200 BP/PPF demonstrated superior cytocompatibility and osteogenic effects, leading to the degradation of PPF bone cement and enabling it to possess photothermal properties. When exposed to an 808-nm laser, the temperature of the bone cement increased to 45-55 °C. Furthermore, haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections from the in vivo toxicity test did not display any anomalous tissue changes. CONCLUSION BP/PPF exhibited mechanical properties similar to that of bone: outstanding photothermal properties, cytocompatibility, and osteoinductivity. BP/PPF serves as an effective degradable bone cement and holds great potential in the field of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Phosphorene is a 2D phosphorus atomic layer arranged in a honeycomb lattice like graphene but with a buckled structure. Since its exfoliation from black phosphorus in 2014, phosphorene has attracted tremendous research interest both in terms of synthesis and fundamental research, as well as in potential applications. Recently, significant attention in phosphorene is motivated not only by research on its fundamental physical properties as a novel 2D semiconductor material, such as tunable bandgap, strong in-plane anisotropy, and high carrier mobility, but also by the study of its wide range of potential applications, such as electronic, optoelectronic, and spintronic devices, energy conversion and storage devices. However, a lot of avenues remain to be explored including the fundamental properties of phosphorene and its device applications. This review recalls the current state of the art of phosphorene and its derivatives, touching upon topics on structure, synthesis, characterization, properties, stability, and applications. The current needs and future opportunities for phosphorene are also discussed.

Abstract
Layered black phosphorus (LBP) is drawing increasing attention because of its excellent potential in biomedical applications. Properties and bioeffects of LBP depend on its layer number (LN). However, the variation of LN during applications, especially in organisms, is largely unknown. Herein, LBP is found to be exfoliated by human serum albumin (HSA) after the formation of protein coronas. The sorption of HSA on LBP exhibits multiple intermediate equilibrium and size-dependent capacity and is distinguished from traditional multilayer sorption. The loss of LN for LBP increases with the increase of HSA concentrations, e.g., 2, 4, and 6 layers of LBP are exfoliated at 35, 135, and 550 mg/L HSA, respectively. The energy distribution shows that at low HSA concentrations, exfoliation is mainly driven by electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions. With middle or high HSA concentrations, exfoliation is mainly driven by p-π or hydrophobic interactions, respectively. Layer exfoliation causes the continuous emergence of an unsaturated LBP surface available for adsorbing further HSA, breaking previous sorption saturations. The complete exfoliation of LBP weakens cytotoxicity and promotes internalization to the A-549 cell line compared with pristine or less exfoliated LBP. This finding unveils the exfoliation mechanism of proteins toward LBP and is of benefit to evaluating application performance and biosafety of LBP.

Abstract
Trastuzumab (Tmab) targeted therapy or its combination with chemotherapy is normally insufficient to elicit a comprehensive therapeutic response owing to the inherent or acquired drug resistance and systemic toxicity observed in highly invasive HER2-positive breast cancer. In this study, we propose a novel approach that integrates photothermal therapy (PTT) with targeted therapy and chemotherapy, thereby achieving additive or synergistic therapeutic outcomes. We utilize PEGylated two-dimensional black phosphorus (2D BP) as a nanoplatform and photothermal agent to load chemotherapeutic drug mitoxantrone (MTO) and conjugate with Tmab (BP-PEG-MTO-Tmab). The in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the HER2-targeting BP-PEG-MTO-Tmab complexes exhibited desirable biocompatibility, safety and enhanced cancer cell uptake efficiency, resulting in increased accumulation and prolonged retention of BP and MTO within tumors. Consequently, the complex improved photothermal and chemotherapy treatment efficacy in HER2-positive cells in vitro and a subcutaneous tumor model in vivo, while minimized harm to normal cells and showed desirable organ compatibility. Collectively, our study provides compelling evidence for the remarkable efficacy of targeted and synergistic chemo-photothermal therapy utilizing all-in-one nanoparticles as a delivery system for BP and chemotherapeutic drug in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
The tunable optical display is vital for many application fields in telecommunications, sensors, and military devices. However, most optical materials have a strong wavelength dependence, which limits their spectral operation range. In this work, we develop an electrically reconfigurable optical medium based on graphene, demonstrating a cycle-controlled display covering the electromagnetic spectrum from the visible to the infrared wavelength. Through an electro-intercalation method, the graphene-based surface enables rich colors from gray to dark blue to dark red to yellow, and the response time is about 1 min from the start gray color to the final yellow color. Simultaneously, it exhibits a remarkable change in infrared emissivity (from 0.63 to 0.80 reduction to 0.20) with a response time of 1 s. This modification of optical properties of lithiated multilayer graphene (MLG) is the increase of Fermi energy (Ef) due to the charge transfer from lithium (Li) to graphene layers, which causes changes in interband and intraband electronic transitions. Our findings imply potential value in fabricating multispectral optical materials with high tunability.

Abstract
Elemental white phosphorous (P4 ) is a crucial feedstock for the entire phosphorus-derived chemical industry, serving as a common precursor for the ultimate preparation of high-grade monophosphorus (P1 ) fine chemicals. However, the corresponding manufacturing processes generally suffer from a deep reliance on hazardous reagents, inputs of immense energy, emissions of toxic pollutants, and the generation of substantial waste, which have negative impacts on the environment. In this context, sustainability and safety concerns provide a consistent impetus for the urgent overall improvement of phosphorus cycles. In this Concept, we present an overview of the most recent growth in photo- and electrochemical synthesis of P1 organo-compounds from P4 , with special emphasis on sustainable features. The key aspects of innovations regarding activation mode and mechanism have been comprehensively analyzed. A preliminary look at the possible future direction of development is also provided.

Abstract
Antibiotics are the most commonly used means to treat bacterial infection at present, but the unreasonable use of antibiotics induces the generation of drug-resistant bacteria, which causes great problems for their clinical application. In recent years, researchers have found that nanomaterials with high specific surface area, special structure, photocatalytic activity and other properties show great potential in bacterial infection control. Among them, black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, has been widely reported in the treatment of tumor and bone defect due to its excellent biocompatibility and degradability. However, the current theory about the antibacterial properties of BP is still insufficient, and the relevant mechanism of action needs to be further studied. In this paper, we introduced the structure and properties of BP, elaborated the mechanism of BP in bacterial infection, and systematically reviewed the application of BP composite materials in the field of antibacterial. At the same time, we also discussed the challenges faced by the current research and application of BP, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for the further study of BP in the future.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects remains a significant challenge to be solved clinically. Immunomodulatory properties of orthopedic biomaterials have significance in regulating osteoimmune microenvironment for osteogenesis. A lactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffold incorporates black phosphorus (BP) fabricated by 3D printing technology to investigate the effect of BP on osteoimmunomodulation and osteogenesis in site. The PLGA/BP scaffold exhibits suitable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties as an excellent microenvironment to support new bone formation. The studies' result also demonstrate that the PLGA/BP scaffolds are able to recruit and stimulate macrophages M2 polarization, inhibit inflammation, and promote human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) proliferation and differentiation, which in turn promotes bone regeneration in the distal femoral defect region of steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) rat model. Moreover, it is screened and demonstrated that PLGA/BP scaffolds can promote osteogenic differentiation by transcriptomic analysis, and PLGA/BP scaffolds promote osteogenic differentiation and mineralization by activating PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in hBMSC cells. In this study, it is shown that the innovative PLGA/BP scaffolds are extremely effective in stimulating bone regeneration by regulating macrophage M2 polarization and a new strategy for the development of biomaterials that can be used to repair bone defects is offered.

Black phosphorus quantum dots induced ferroptosis in lung cell via increasing lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 179:113952. [PMID: 37481226 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots (BP-QDs) have potential applications in biomedicine. BP-QDs may enter the body through the respiratory tract during grinding and crushing production and processing, causing respiratory toxicity. Ferroptosis is an oxidative, iron-dependent form of cell death. Here, respiratory toxicity of BP-QDs has been validated in mice and human bronchial epithelial cells. After 24 h of exposure to different doses (4-32 μg/mL) of BP-QDs, intracellular lipid peroxidation and iron overload occurred in Beas-2B cells. After 4 times exposures by noninvasive tracheal instillation at four doses [0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 (mg/kg/48h)], all animals were sacrificed, organs were removed, processed for pathological examination and molecular analysis. Iron overload, glutathione (GSH) depletion and lipid peroxidation in the lung tissue of mice in the exposure group. Furthermore, based on the ferroptosis-associated protein and mRNA expression, it was hypothesized that BP-QDs induced ferroptosis through increasing intracellular free iron and polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis. By comparing with previous studies, we speculate that primary cells generally are more sensitive to BP-QDs-induced damage than cancer cells. In summary, findings in the present study confirmed that BP-QDs induce ferroptosis via increasing lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The polymorphism of phosphorus-based materials has garnered much research interest, and the variable chemical bonding structures give rise to a variety of micro and nanostructures. Among the different types of materials containing phosphorus, elemental phosphorus materials (EPMs) constitute the foundation for the synthesis of related compounds. EPMs are experiencing a renaissance in the post-graphene era, thanks to recent advancements in the scaling-down of black phosphorus, amorphous red phosphorus, violet phosphorus, and fibrous phosphorus and consequently, diverse classes of low-dimensional sheets, ribbons, and dots of EPMs with intriguing properties have been produced. The nanostructured EPMs featuring tunable bandgaps, moderate carrier mobility, and excellent optical absorption have shown great potential in energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. It is thus important to have a good understanding of the differences and interrelationships among diverse EPMs, their intrinsic physical and chemical properties, the synthesis of specific structures, and the selection of suitable nanostructures of EPMs for particular applications. In this comprehensive review, we aim to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of the fundamental physicochemical properties, synthesis, and applications of EPMs in the areas of energy conversion, energy storage, and environmental remediation. Our evaluations are based on recent literature on well-established phosphorus allotropes and theoretical predictions of new EPMs. The objective of this review is to enhance our comprehension of the characteristics of EPMs, keep abreast of recent advances, and provide guidance for future research of EPMs in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

Engineering advanced therapeutic and diagnostic nano-bio-platforms (NBPFs) have emerged as rapidly-developed pathways against a wide range of challenges in antitumor, antipathogen, tissue regeneration, bioimaging, and biosensing applications. Emerged 2D materials have attracted extensive scientific interest as fundamental building blocks or nanostructures among material scientists, chemists, biologists, and doctors due to their advantageous physicochemical and biological properties. This timely review provides a comprehensive summary of creating advanced NBPFs via emerging 2D materials (2D-NBPFs) with unique insights into the corresponding molecularly restructured microenvironments and biofunctionalities. First, it is focused on an up-to-date overview of the synthetic strategies for designing 2D-NBPFs with a cross-comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. After that, the recent key achievements are summarized in tuning the biofunctionalities of 2D-NBPFs via molecularly programmed microenvironments, including physiological stability, biocompatibility, bio-adhesiveness, specific binding to pathogens, broad-spectrum pathogen inhibitors, stimuli-responsive systems, and enzyme-mimetics. Moreover, the representative therapeutic and diagnostic applications of 2D-NBPFs are also discussed with detailed disclosure of their critical design principles and parameters. Finally, current challenges and future research directions are also discussed. Overall, this review will provide cutting-edge and multidisciplinary guidance for accelerating future developments and therapeutic/diagnostic applications of 2D-NBPFs.

Black phosphorus quantum dots induce autophagy and apoptosis of human bronchial epithelial cells via endoplasmic reticulum stress. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 327:138463. [PMID: 36966929 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The board application of black phosphorus quantum dots (BP-QDs) increases the risk of inhalation exposure in the manufacturing process. The aim of this study is to explore the toxic effect of BP-QDs on human bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B) and lung tissue of Balb/c mice. METHODS The BP-QDs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a Malvern laser particle size analyzer. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and TEM were used to detect cytotoxicity and organelle injury. Damage to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was detected by using the ER-Tracker molecular probe. Rates of apoptosis were detected by AnnexinV/PI staining. Phagocytic acid vesicles were detected using AO staining. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the molecular mechanisms. RESULTS After treatment with different concentrations of BP-QDs for 24 h, the cell viability decreased, as well as activation of the ER stress and autophagy. Furthermore, the rate of apoptosis was increased. Inhibition of ER stress caused by 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA) was shown to significantly inhibit both apoptosis and autophagy, suggesting that ER stress could be an upstream mediator of both autophagy and apoptosis. BP-QD-induced autophagy can also inhibit the occurrence of apoptosis using molecules related to autophagy including rapamycin (Rapa), 3-methyladenine (3-MA), and bafilomycin A1 (Bafi A1). In general, BP-QDs activate ER stress in Beas-2B cells, which further induces autophagy and apoptosis, and autophagy may be activated as a factor that protects against apoptosis. We also observed strong staining of related proteins of ER stress, autophagy, and apoptosis proteins in mouse lung tissue following intracheal instillation over the course of a week. CONCLUSION BP-QD-induced ER stress facilitates autophagy and apoptosis in Beas-2B cells and autophagy may be activated as a protective factor against apoptosis. Under conditions of ER stress induced by BP-QDs, The interplay between autophagy and apoptosis determines cell fate.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BP), an emerging two-dimensional material with unique optical, thermoelectric, and mechanical properties, has been proposed as bioactive material for tissue engineering. However, its toxic effects on physiological systems remain obscure. The present study investigated the cytotoxicity of BP to vascular endothelial cells. BP nanosheets (BPNSs) with a diameter of 230 nm were fabricated via a classical liquid-phase exfoliation method. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to determine the cytotoxicity induced by BPNSs (0.31-80 μg/mL). When the concentrations were over 2.5 μg/mL, BPNSs adversely affected the cytoskeleton and cell migration. Furthermore, BPNSs caused mitochondrial dysfunction and generated excessive intercellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) at tested concentrations after 24 h. BPNSs could influence the expression of apoptosis-related genes, including the P53 and BCL-2 family, resulting in the apoptosis of HUVECs. Therefore, the viability and function of HUVECs were adversely influenced by the concentration of BPNSs over 2.5 μg/mL. These findings provide significant information for the potential applications of BP in tissue engineering.

Abstract
The oxidation of the emerging nanomaterial black phosphorus (BP) affected by pH and oxygen has been carefully documented. However, in natural waters, there is a large amount of chemically reactive organic matters like fulvic acid (FA), whose impacts on degradation and stability of few-layer BP or BP nanosheets (BPNS) are scarcely disclosed. Hence, we investigated the kinetics of BPNS degradation products (H2PO2-, HPO32-, and PO43-) in the presence of FA. The results showed that the apparent reaction rate constants of BPNS were 0.026, 0.050, and 0.060 d-1 under oxygen-and-light condition and 0.005, 0.016, and 0.023 d-1 under hypoxia-and-darkness condition at FA gradients of 0, 2.5, and 5 mgC/L, respectively. Microscopic observations, simple molecular simulation experiment, and density functional theory computation explained that FA significantly enhanced the degradation of P atoms on the BPNS surface through the indirect pathway of reducing the energy barrier of O2 dissociative adsorption and the direct pathway of chemical adsorption, which caused the P-P bond on the BPNS surface to break down and formed P-O bonds or C-P bonds. This study revealed for the first time the degradation mechanism of BPNS in the presence of FA, which is a chemical mechanism of the BPNS transformation behavior. It helps to make a more scientific risk assessment of BP in natural waters.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) triggered by near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) light is developed as a potential tumor therapy technique with deeper tissue penetration capacity and higher allowable laser power density of the skin than NIR-I (750-1000 nm) biowindow. Black phosphorus (BP) with excellent biocompatibility and favorable biodegradability demonstrates promising applications in PTT but suffers from low ambient stability and limited photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), and utilization of BP in NIR-II PTT is scarcely reported. Herein, we develop novel fullerene covalently modified few-layer BP nanosheets (BPNSs) with ∼9-layer thickness through an easy one-step esterification process (abbreviated BP-ester-C60), bringing about the dramatically enhanced ambient stability of BPNSs due to bonding of the hydrophobic C60 with high stability and the lone electron pair on the phosphorus atom. BP-ester-C60 is then applied as a photosensitizer in NIR-II PTT, delivering a much higher PCE than the pristine BPNSs. Under 1064 nm NIR-II laser irradiation, in vitro and in vivo antitumor studies reveal that BP-ester-C60 exhibits dramatically enhanced PTT efficacy with considerable biosafety relative to the pristine BPNSs. This is interpreted by the boost of NIR light absorption on account of the modulation of the band energy level resulting from intramolecular electron transfer from BPNSs to C60.

Abstract
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is a typical nuclease that plays key roles in many physiological processes and the development of a novel biosensing strategy for DNase I detection is of fundamental significance. In this study, a fluorescence biosensing nanoplatform based on a two-dimensional (2D) titanium carbide (Ti3C2) nanosheet for sensitive and specific detection of DNase I was reported. Fluorophore-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) can be spontaneously and selectively adsorbed on Ti3C2 nanosheet through the hydrogen bond and metal chelate interaction between phosphate groups of ssDNA and titanium of Ti3C2 nanosheet, resulting in effective quenching of the fluorescence emitted by fluorophore. Notably, it was found the enzyme activity of DNase I will be terminated by the Ti3C2 nanosheet. Therefore, the fluorophore-labeled ssDNA was firstly digested by DNase I and the "post-mixing" strategy of Ti3C2 nanosheet was chosen to evaluate the enzyme activity of DNase I, which provided the possibility of improving the accuracy of the biosensing method. Experimental results demonstrated that this method can be utilized for quantitative analysis of DNase I activity and exhibited a low detection limit of 0.16 U/ml. Additionally, the evaluation of DNase I activity in human serum samples and the screening of inhibitors with this developed biosensing strategy were successfully realized, implying that it has high potential as a promising nanoplatform for nuclease analysis in bioanalytical and biomedical fields.

Protective effect of spore oil-functionalized nano-selenium system on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by regulating oxidative stress-mediated pathways and activating immune response.

Abstract
In clinical practice, cisplatin is the most commonly used chemotherapy drug to treat a range of malignancies. Severe ROS-regulated nephrotoxicity, however, restricts its applicability. Currently, the main mechanisms leading to cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in clinical settings involve hydration or diuresis. However, not all patients can be treated with massive hydration or diuretics. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a treatment modality that can effectively reduce nephrotoxicity through a foodborne route. Selenium has been reported to have strong antioxidant as well as anticancer effects when administered as spore oil. Herein, we established cellular and animal models of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and synthesized spore oil-functionalized nano-selenium (GLSO@SeNPs). We found that GLSO@SeNPs inhibit the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by maintaining oxidative homeostasis and regulating related signaling pathways (the MAPK, caspase, and AKT signaling pathways). In vivo, GLSO@SeNPs could effectively improve cisplatin-induced renal impairment, effectively maintaining oxidative homeostasis in renal tissues and thus inhibiting the process of renal injury. In addition, GLSO@SeNPs were converted into selenocysteine (SeCys2), which may exert protective effects. Furthermore, GLSO@SeNPs could effectively modulate the ratio of immune cells in kidneys and spleen, reducing the proportions of CD3+CD4+ T cells, CD3+CD8+ T cells, and M1 phenotype macrophages and increasing the proportion of anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells. In summary, in this study, we synthesized food-derived spore oil-functionalized nanomaterials, and we explored the mechanisms by which GLSO@SeNPs inhibit cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Our study provides a basis and rationale for the inhibition of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by food-derived nutrients.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis, as one of the emerging technologies with synergistic effects of photochemistry and thermochemistry, is highly attractive in the fields of environment and energy. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have received extensive attention toward photothermal catalysis because of their ultrathin layer structures, superior physical and optical properties, and high surface areas. These merits are beneficial for shortening the transfer distance of charge carriers, improving the efficiency of solar to thermal, and providing a great opportunity for the development of photothermal chemistry. In this review, we have summarized the state-of-art advances in various 2D nanomaterials with emphasis on the driving force and relevant mechanism of photothermal catalysis, including the involved three types, namely, localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR), nonradiative relaxation, and thermal vibrations of molecules. Moreover, the synthesis strategies of 2D materials and their photothermal applications in carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion, hydrogen (H2) production, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation, and water (H2O) purification have been discussed in detail. Ultimately, the existing challenges and prospects of future development in the field are proposed. It is believed that this review will afford a great reference for the exploration of the high-efficiency 2D nanomaterials and their structure-activity relationship.

Abstract
Translocation of extrinsic molecules into living cells is becoming increasingly crucial in biological studies ranging from cell engineering to biomedical applications. The concerns regarding biosafety and immunogenicity for conventional vectors and physical methods yet challenge effective intracellular delivery. Here, we begin with an overview of approaches for trans-membrane delivery up to now. These methods are featured with a relatively mature application but usually encounter low cell survival. Our review then proposes an advanced application for nanomaterial-sensitized photoporation triggered with a laser. We cover the mechanisms, procedures, and outcomes of photoporation-induced intracellular delivery with a highlight on its versatility to different living cells. We hope the review discussed here encourages researchers to further improvement and applications for photoporation-induced intracellular delivery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
Hydrogels, also known as three-dimensional, flexible, and polymer networks, are composed of natural and/or synthetic polymers with exceptional properties such as hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, biofunctionality, and elasticity. Researchers in biomedicine, biosensing, pharmaceuticals, energy and environment, agriculture, and cosmetics are interested in hydrogels. Hydrogels have limited adaptability for complicated biological information transfer in biomedical applications due to their lack of electrical conductivity and low mechanical strength, despite significant advances in the development and use of hydrogels. The nano-filler-hydrogel hybrid system based on supramolecular interaction between host and guest has emerged as one of the potential solutions to the aforementioned issues. Black phosphorus, as one of the representatives of novel two-dimensional materials, has gained a great deal of interest in recent years owing to its exceptional physical and chemical properties, among other nanoscale fillers. However, a few numbers of publications have elaborated on the scientific development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels extensively. In this review, this review thus summarized the benefits of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels and highlighted the most recent biological uses of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels. Finally, the difficulties and future possibilities of the development of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels are reviewed in an effort to serve as a guide for the application and manufacture of black phosphorus -based hydrogels. Recent applications of black phosphorus hybrid hydrogels in biomedicine.

Abstract
Phosphorene, a novel member of the two-dimensional nanomaterial family, has demonstrated great potential in biomedical applications, such as photothermal therapy, drug delivery and antibacterial. However, phosphorene is unstable and easily oxidized in an aerobic environment. In this paper, using larger-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the disruption of phosphorene oxide (PO) to the structure of a model protein, villin headpiece subdomain (HP35). It shows that the disruption of PO nanosheets to the protein structure is enhanced with increasing oxidation concentration of PO, while PO's oxidation mode has very little effect on the PO-HP35 interaction. PO with a low oxidation concentration has certain biocompatibility to HP35. Oxygen atoms filling into the groove region in the puckered surface of phosphorene enhance the dispersion interaction between phosphorene and HP35, which enhances the disruption of phosphorene to the structure of HP35. Compared with the dispersion interaction, the electrostatic interaction between PO and the protein has a negligible effect on the structural damage of HP35. These findings might shed light on the biological toxicity of PO nanosheets and would be helpful for future potential biomedical applications of PO nanosheets, such as nanodrugs and antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOD) has a wide range of applications in biosensing and cancer treatment as a result of its unique biocatalytic properties. More importantly, GOD could synergistically enhance the cancer therapeutic effect when combined with other cancer therapeutic strategies. However, the interaction of GOD with a cancer therapeutic agent has not been well-studied. Herein, the thermodynamic properties of the interaction between black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) and GOD were systematically elucidated, and the dose-dependent conformational and enzymatic activity changes of BPQDs on GOD were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The results indicated that the stoichiometric ratio of BPQDs to GOD was approximately 1:1. In particular, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectra have synergistically studied the changes in secondary and tertiary conformations of GOD induced by BPQDs. Higher doses of BPQDs resulted in a loose structure of GOD but still maintained the native conformation and preserved effective enzymatic activity, effectively catalyzing the production of H2O2 from glucose in a cell. The interaction mechanism between BPQDs and GOD provides a theoretical basis for the design of GOD-based multimodal synergistic cancer therapy and its clinical translation analysis.

Abstract
For decades, calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs) showed impressive advantages for their good biocompatibility, injectability, and osteoconductivity in the bone repair field. However, it is still difficult to prepare CPCs with outstanding antibacterial and self-curing properties, sufficient phosphorus release, and osteoinductivity for clinical application. Herein, we used partially crystallized calcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate anhydrate particles incorporated with black phosphorous nanosheets to prepare calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs). The curing time, compressive strength, photothermal properties, and degradation performance of BP/CPC were investigated. In addition, the cytocompatibility and osteoinductivity of BP/CPC were evaluated by cell adhesion, cytotoxicity, alkaline phosphatase detection, alizarin red staining, and western blot assay. The results indicated that BP/CPC showed adjustable curing time, good cytocompatibility, outstanding photothermal properties, and osteoinductivity, suggesting their potential application for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is seriously endangering the global healthcare system. There is an urgent need for combining imaging with therapies to realize the real-time monitoring of pathological condition and treatment progress. It also provides guidance on exploring new medicines and enhance treatment strategies to overcome the antibiotic resistance of existing conventional antibiotics. In this review, we provide a thorough overview of the most advanced image-guided approaches for bacterial diagnosis (e.g., computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound imaging, fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography imaging, and multiple imaging), and therapies (e.g., photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and multiple therapies). This review focuses on how to design and fabricate photo-responsive materials for improved image-guided bacterial theranostics applications. We present a potential application of different image-guided modalities for both bacterial diagnosis and therapies with representative examples. Finally, we highlighted the current challenges and future perspectives image-guided approaches for future clinical translation of nano-theranostics in bacterial infections therapies. We envision that this review will provide for future development in image-guided systems for bacterial theranostics applications.

Abstract
The combination of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, neuroinflammation, and pathogenic protein aggregation disrupt the homeostasis of brain microenvironment, creating conditions conducive to the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Restoring homeostasis by remodeling the brain microenvironment could reverse this complex pathological progression. However, treatment strategies that can induce this effect are currently unavailable. Herein, we developed a "Swiss Army Knife" nanodelivery platform consisting of matrine (MT) and polyethylene glycol-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (BP) that enables PD treatment by restoring brain microenvironment homeostasis. Under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect induced by BP allowed the nanomedicine to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and entered the brain parenchyma. In PD brains, the biological effects of BP and MT resulted in the removal of excess ROS, effective reduction of neuroinflammation, decreased aggregation of pathogenic proteins, and improved neurotransmitter delivery, eventually restoring dopamine levels in the striatum. This study demonstrated the effective capacity of a BP-based nanodelivery platform to enter the brain parenchyma and trigger multiple neuropathological changes in PD brains. The platform serves as a safe and effective anti-PD nanomedicine with immense clinical potential.

Abstract
Stable and bioactive material-tissue interface (MTF) basically determines the clinical applications of biomaterials in wound healing, sustained drug release, and tissue engineering. Although many inorganic nanomaterials have been widely explored to enhance the stability and bioactivity of polymer-based biomaterials, most are still restricted by their stability and biocompatibility. Here we demonstrate the enhanced bioactivity and stability of polymer-matrix bio-composite through coupling multiscale material-tissue interfacial interactions with atomically thin TiO2 nanosheets. Resin modified with TiO2 nanosheets displays improved mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and stability. Also, we confirm that this resin can effectively stimulate the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation into osteogenic and odontogenic lineages of human dental pulp stem cells using in vitro cell-resin interface model. TiO2 nanosheets can also enhance the interaction between demineralized dentinal collagen and resin. Our results suggest an approach to effectively up-regulate the stability and bioactivity of MTFs by designing biocompatible materials at the sub-nanoscale. Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material (further details of fabrication and characterization of TiO2 NSs and TiO2-ARCs, the bioactivity evaluation of TiO2-ARCs on hDPSCs, and the measurement of interaction with demineralized dentin collagen) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-5153-1.

Abstract
As an emerging two-dimensional nanomaterial with promising prospects, mono- or few-layer black phosphorus (BP) is potentially toxic to humans. We investigated the effects of two types of BPs on adult male mice through intratracheal instillation. Using the flow cytometry method, the generation, migration, and recruitment of immune cells in different organs have been characterized on days 1, 7, 14, and 21 post-exposure. Compared with small BP (S-BP, lateral size at ∼188 nm), large BP (L-BP, lateral size at ∼326 nm) induced a stronger stress lymphopoiesis and B cell infiltration into the alveolar sac. More importantly, L-BP dramatically increased peripheral neutrophil (NE) counts up to 1.9-fold on day 21 post-exposure. Decreased expression of the CXCR4 on NEs, an important regulator of NE retention in the bone marrow, explained the increased NE release into the circulation induced by L-BP. Therefore, BP triggers systemic inflammation via the disruption of both the generation and migration of inflammatory immune cells.

Abstract
To develop various biosensors, several 2D nanomaterials adsorb DNA probes (aptamers) via π-π stacking interactions. However, interference from DNA displacement by external non-targeted ligands has precluded their practical applications for specific detection and imaging at high protein concentrations. Metal coordination is an attractive strategy for biomolecular crosslinking and functional molecular self-assembly. Herein, a robust 2D biosensor nanoplatform was developed to enhance DNA adsorption and affinity using Mn2+-modified black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS@Mn2+) via metal coordination. The Mn2+ can simultaneously coordinate with the lone pair electrons (π bonds) of the BPNS and nucleotide bases to provide binding sites for DNA nucleobases on the BPNS surface, which greatly enhances the stability of the inner BPNS and improves DNA adsorption and affinity. The DNA adsorption mechanism of BPNS@Mn2+ was also characterized, and is extensively discussed. Without any further modification, this BPNS@Mn2+/DNA biosensor specifically detected single-stranded DNA (linear range: 10-200 nM, detection limit: 5.76 nM) and thrombin (linear range: 20-180 nM, detection limit: 2.39 nM) in 100 nM bovine serum albumin solution. The nonspecific ligands in the environment did not affect the detection performance of the robust biosensor. In addition, the expression levels of microRNA-21 can be imaged and analyzed in living cells using this biosensor, which is consistent with the results of the polymerase chain reaction. This study highlights the potential of metal coordination in surface modification and provides new opportunities for biomedical applications of 2D nanomaterials with superior DNA-adsorption capacity, facilitating the development of biosensor design and nucleic acid/drug delivery.

Abstract
As per global cancer statistics of 2020, female breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and also the foremost cause of cancer death in women. Traditional treatments include a number of negative effects, making it necessary to investigate novel smart drug delivery methods and identify new therapeutic approaches. Efforts for developing novel strategies for breast cancer therapy are being devised worldwide by various research groups. Currently, two-dimensional black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) have attracted considerable attention and are best suited for theranostic nanomedicine. Particularly, their characteristics, including drug loading efficacy, biocompatibility, optical, thermal, electrical, and phototherapeutic characteristics, support their growing demand as a potential substitute for graphene-based nanomaterials in biomedical applications. In this review, we have explained different platforms of BP nanomaterials for breast cancer management, their structures, functionalization approaches, and general methods of synthesis. Various characteristics of BP nanomaterials that make them suitable for cancer therapy and diagnosis, such as large surface area, nontoxicity, solubility, biodegradability, and excellent near-infrared (NIR) absorption capability, are discussed in the later sections. Next, we summarize targeting approaches using various strategies for effective therapy with BP nanoplatforms. Then, we describe applications of BP nanomaterials for breast cancer treatment, which include drug delivery, codelivery of drugs, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, combined therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and multidrug resistance reversal strategy. Finally, the present challenges and future aspects of BP nanomaterials are discussed.

[PMID: 36244174 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.114168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) are considered to have wide application prospects due to their excellent properties. However, there is no study on the effect of BPQDs on glucose metabolism. In this study, blood glucose was significantly increased when mice were continuously intragastrically administered 0.1 and 1 mg/kg bw BPQDs. The blood glucose level of the mice was elevated from Day 7 to Day 28. BPQD exposure also decreased the area under the curve (AUC) of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). After exposure, the pancreas somatic index was increased. Moreover, the serum insulin and glucagon levels were elevated and the relative area of islet β cells was increased in BPQD-exposed mice, while insulin signaling cascades were reduced in muscle tissues. In summary, our study demonstrated for the first time that BPQD exposure induces glucose disorder and insulin resistance in muscle, which is helpful to understand the biosafety of black phosphorus nanomaterials and promote the sustainable development of nanotechnology.
